Figure 2 is a perspective view of Figure 1 looking from the rear of the display card and with the compartment cover raised;

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the box in display position as shown in Figure 2, the section being taken on the line 3 of Figure 4;

Figure 4 is a vertical cross section of the box in the same position, on the line 4 of Figure 3;
